Pravin B Shelar a8077ef001 genl: Hold reference on correct module while netlink-dump. ...

[ Upstream commit 33c6b1f6b1 ]

netlink dump operations take module as parameter to hold
reference for entire netlink dump duration.
Currently it holds ref only on genl module which is not correct
when we use ops registered to genl from another module.
Following patch adds module pointer to genl_ops so that netlink
can hold ref count on it.
